hagel and our first team, they write today, quote, the extra weak after filibustering senator hagel only a bogus group of friends of hamas never existed. do you feel that there are now serious exposures of why the right was wary of chuck hagel? he's making his way through but he's going to be a bloodied defense secretary. when the administration folks had to send him notes as he was testifying to tell him what the position is, i think it's very damning and i talked to democrats very concerned about his nomination as well but is going to vote for him because he's the president's nominee. he's been wrong on iran, i believe, when he imposed sanctions. he was only one of two senators to do that. we now have korea, north korea in developing a missile. their goal is top send nuclear weapons into the united states to hit us on our own homeland and yet he talks about unilaterally disarming ourself as a nation in term of our nuclear arms. i believe he is the wrong choice and those are just some of the reasons but i think he is not qualified to be secretary of defense. >> again, presuming that he

chuck hagel's nomination has nothing to do with benghazi. if there were issues the senators have of benghazi it should have come up during senator kerrkerry's nomination process. it does not. the fact that chuck hagel's nomination process is about benghazi when first it was the issues he had with afghanistan and iraq and the positions that he has with israel, what is this about really? this is really about hyperpartisanship at its absolute worst to the detriment of our national security. >> you think the hearing where john mccain gave a piggy back ride to john kerry where this should have come up as opposed to the hearing with john mccain and chuck haggle. >> i don't make it up but certainly yes. >> processing that. i want to thank everybody today for their time on this president's day. thanks so much. appreciate it. >>> more on the white house's leaked immigration plan b. joining me is florida democratic congresswoman joe garcia, a member of the house hispanic caucus. we're talking about the leak has gotten such big reaction from the right
